14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards

1 answer:

8 0

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,

A major strike-slip earthquake on the San Andreas fault in California will cause a catastrophic tsunami affecting residents of S

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

The san andres is a transform fault that forms boundary between the Pacific and the North Atlantic plate and this slip strike is characterized by the latex motion the fault runs in the length of the California state.

This plate is widely estimated for the high magnitude of earthquakes and varies from 7.7 to 8.3 magnitude. They are capable of producing a deadly tsunami that can devastate the pacific northwest.

A river 1.00 mile wide flows with a constant speed of 1.00 mph. A man can row a boat at 2.00 mph. He crosses the river in a dire

gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

$V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2$

$V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}$

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

$V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}$

$V_T = \sqrt{3}$

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

$v= \frac{\Delta x}{t}$

$t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}$

$t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}$

$t = 1.15hour$

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.

iris [78.8K]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

The US constitution has involved details related to the Supreme Court; in fact, the US constitution created this institution. However, the structure does not specify how many judges will sit in the supreme court. Those details were left to the US Congress. In 1807, Congress increased the number of judges to seven; In 1837 the number increased to nine, and in 1863 it rose to 10.
